Opossums don't get the recognition they deserve.
You'd think that delivery folks in freezing areas would be outfitted with Yak Tracks or similar shoe cleats. Heck, the company I worked for bought each employee a pair just to navigate our company parking lot without slipping. (Yeah, I'm sure it was done on the advice of our attorney - to avoid lawsuits by slippers)ski3pin said:There is nothing like ice. This reminds me of our morning walk about a week ago.

The weather I have to be prepared for in advance is a hard, deep freeze. It's not designed to be a real 4-season rig -- plumbing-wise. I need to drain, clear the lines for that. But in that respect it's no different than my FWC.ski3pin said:Mr. BC, that looks so gosh darn comfortable, and ready for all kinds of weather.
You are getting the hang of it Mr. Sage.Wandering Sagebrush said:....................................... and just now heard the snow plow go by, so I’ll need to go clear the driveway.
That video is exactly how it is here today. Yup, micro spikes were required on our walk. Lots of surprised looks on driver's faces when suddenly they discovered they were sliding and could not stop.ski3pin said:There is nothing like ice. This reminds me of our morning walk about a week ago.
